Formwork (Shuttering)
This is the temporary formwork meant to support your construction while the concrete work is in progress. It comprises of wood props, plywood and steel plates. A good formwork should be strong, solid and without any gaps so that water leakage through through the joint or any gap is almost minimum. 24 gauge micron polythene sheet should be used to prevent any water leakage. Apply a layer of releasing agent (like diesel or grease mix) to the formwork where the concrete is to be poured. This enables it to be removed with ease and ensures a smooth finish.
